One of my rules is not to start making Christmas cards until 1st September - so all 4 boxes of my Christmas stash are stored in the garage until then.
Then it is pleasure to rediscover everything I put away 9 months ago.
I have so much stuff, that I do not really need to buy any more papers, sentiments, stamps or embellishments.
So these first few cards are the start of making an in-road into that pile. They will go in the charity box, so can be in a variety of styles and colours.
